Pros:

The area is perfect. Breakfast was nice and the lady made the best cappuccinos of this trip! They were nice.

Cons:

The first night was in a room on the bottom floor. They had just turned off the AC and the floor heat on. It was incredibly hot in the room with no control over the temperature. They gave us a fan but it was insufficient and very, very loud. The window opened into the entryway to the hotel so sleeping with it wide open was not an option - particularly since I had left my nightshirt, etc in the car to reduce luggage carrying weight. The bed was extremely squeaky and made noise every time one of us moved. Needless to say, we didn't really sleep. They moved us upstairs the next night. It was a very nice room and away from the floor heat so that was great. The bed was the same model and still squeaked but not like the first one. I would not stay again. Summer is probably fine with the AC but the beds squeaking is really unacceptable.

Pros:

Une expérience unique et pleine de charme à Matera !

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet hôtel au concept vraiment original ! Dormir dans un lieu qui ressemble à une ancienne cave, avec tout le charme de la pierre et l’atmosphère si particulière de Matera, a été une expérience unique.

L’hôtel est très calme et idéalement situé au cœur de Matera, une ville magnifique, chargée d’histoire et célèbre pour ses habitations troglodytiques. Nous avons particulièrement aimé cette impression de vivre au plus près de l’histoire de la ville, dans un cadre authentique et plein de caractère.

C’est bien plus qu’un simple hôtel : c’est une véritable expérience qui permet de découvrir Matera autrement. Nous sommes ravis d’avoir choisi cet établissement et nous en garderons un très beau souvenir.

Si vous venez visiter Matera, je vous recommande vivement cette expérience originale et pleine de charme ! 🇮🇹❤️

Cons:

Pas de parking car c’est dans la zone ZTL .
